So my entire social group at college is Jews. Natural response because of the *waves hands* the times. But that would be very very suspicious to my fundamentalist Catholic parents who do not know I’m converting to Judaism.
So.. I lie. But to be honest. Not that well. Here’s from best to worst my several performances in this game.
1. My father came into town and took me and my best friend out to dinner.
My dad: so how did you meet Meg?
The both of us: uhhh
Meg: i cut her in the waffle line
Me: yeah and then she started just talking to me all the time and I couldn’t shake her.
(This happened but at Shabbat dinner)
2. I was going to a restaurant with a friend from a different school who I met at a Torah study night.
my mom- so how did you meet Laura?
Me- *panicking* Hot dog event.
Mom - … hot dog event ?
Me- yes.
3. One of my good friends is a co-president of Hillel and is, predictably, a nerd.
Mom- so where did you find this Leor person?
Me- (on the phone with this detective as I’m walking around with Leor, see they’re wearing a Spock scarf) Star trek club!
Mom- you’re in Star Trek club!?
Me- well, you see, there wasn’t ever a second meeting.
4. I think this might be my worst ranking performance yet. I have a friend, Hao , and we were meeting up to go to a rabbi’s house.
Mom- this is a guy!? How’d you meet him!?
Me- ducks. We were feeding ducks.
Mom- I don’t think that there’s .. ducks where you are?
Me- they were on tour.
Mom- the ducks.
Me- yeah, the university actually hired a company to take them around campus for mental health therapy. I think it really worked actually.

Hi, this is very random but please do not make jokes about Fabio’s religion.
This is slightly biased because I’m also Catholic, but please do not make jokes about his faith to support your opinions about the sport. It’s one thing to not know that he’s religious, but it’s a whole other thing to make jokes about it. It’s very offensive.
Fabio has talked about being Catholic before, as well as having tattoos with the cross, a cathedral, and a nun. This clearly means a lot to him and they are not just for aesthetic purposes.

Look, hate Catholicism as much as you want - as is your right, but you've got to at least be able to find humour in the fact that Pope Francis as Pope cannot contradict previous Popes nor can future Pope's contradict HIM - meaning that it's now on the record that Catholics should evangelise alien life if we ever find it.
And I know it's old okay, but I just remembered it was a thing and by god all those humans are space orc things are very agonistic in nature - which does work for universal storytelling- and I just really really want a humans ae space orcs story where this one Catholic human feels very conflicted.
Because yes, yes you should respect the culture and religion of your crew mates; but also like this is one of the first true close quarter long-term contacts with alien life on a social level and wouldn't it be so fucking cool to be the first person to introduce that into space?

Doing some research into Puritan fashions and dress code because I'm making a powerpoint to terrorize my friend with the fact that Belos is Cisn't and I can't believe Philip "I am so deeply religious that I can't let go of it after several centuries and I have also remodeled a whole alternate dimension's religious belief to mimic my religion" Wittebane has never had short hair ever.
Puritans loathed men with long hair. It was the trend at the time but the Puritans saw men with long hair as uncivilized, sinful, etc etc and encouraged closely cropped hair (and I invite you to imagine Belos with a shaved head). Baby Philip's hair, the shortest hair we've seen him with, was just above his shoulders. Which likely went against the rule that men's hair should not reach their collars (and the doublet collars at the time are pretty high). And Philip just kept growing it longer and longer. Even before he stepped into the Boiling Isles, and when he did come to the Boiling Isles he had a significantly long ponytail.
Also worth noting that Caleb had a small ponytail up until we see him in the Boiling Isles. Definitely long enough to brush past the collar.
If Philip had short hair before the Boiling Isles, or if long hair was exclusive to Belos Mode only, it would be understandable. Sorta. Because Belos's whole aesthetic is very Roman Catholic, which the Puritans hated so much that they seperated from the Church of England because it was too much like it. So if Philip needed an evil, heretical society to base his evil, heretical witch society, the Catholic Church was right there. And I'm pretty sure Catholic men went with the long hair trend too.
But most of the sources I find have their hair restrictions get tighter sometime around the mid-to-late 17th century, with the earliest (???) restriction I found being created in 1634 at the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Which means that the "long hair = evil" would be there and present throughout the Wittebanes childhood, and I cannot believe they both had long hair as Puritan children. They would have been shamed in front of their town during mass. They would have been seen as evil children. No wonder Philip latched on so hard to being a witch hunter if it was a way for him to prove he was "good" or "holy" or whatever.
But also, he (or his parents) could have gotten his hair cut at any point to prevent said ostracization because of fashion standards.
Anyways, the Wittebanes are not cis, I just haven't figured out what flavor of cisn't they are.

so i am sobbing uncontrollably after finishing Midnight Mass and I'm really glad i didn't see it sooner. Its very good but i was not in the place to see it or process it then and im still not sure if i am now, but i am typing this in tears because god fucking dammit I have lived pieces of that show.
little pieces, tiny pieces, but those pieces changed and defined so much of my life and in many ways still do.
For starters, Riley and I share a name and an attitude with the church. I have had the same conversation he had with his father at the beginning of the show many, many, times. I have been made to sit through my own confirmation and see the entire congregation look over at me as i sat in the pew because my fucking name was still in the hand out listing the confirmation candidates. My best friend got confirmed to appease her parents, but i was stubborn and i wouldnt on principle. That doesnt really matter and i dont want to ramble, but needless to say, going into this show i knew it would be emotionally heavy for me for that reason.
I have met so many people like Bev in my life. I have sat in churches just like St. Patricks and I know that is the point but Flanagan makes it well. I watched Riley sit back for eucharist and i watched the camera zoom in on his face and the empty pews behind him. I know that feeling. I know that feeling of isolation and loneliness in a place where supposedly you are never alone. Because god is in all his churches.
And i was so scared watching this show that i would watch him find faith where i have failed to. I have been burned so, so, so many times by atheist characters converting and its a celebration and 'thank god they found god!' and the relief i felt as he burned away on that boat I cannot describe. I dont honestly think i can describe how this show has made me feel at all, but i am still crying.
Hearing Erin's speech at the end. Watching Hassan and Ali pray on the beach, one last time. Seeing everyone gather in the square to sing, one last time. To praise their god one last time, to pray for his mercy and forgiveness and to know that they would be granted it. To watch John and Mildred hold their baby. To see that bitch Bev try to dig a hole in the beach only to die screaming and in agony. She is the only one who screamed.
I dont really know where im going with this, sort of just train of consciousness-ing this i guess. But i think there was something really cathartic in this for me and nothing nothing has left me this shattered yet whole before.
im not one to usually post anything here and the first rb or message i get from someone saying 'not all christians' or 'jesus loves you' or fucking anything like that ill delete this post and block the fuck out of you. You can keep that shit to yourself. Yeah i didnt have to post this, but you dont have to say anything, either. And that seems hostile but i am sick and tired of being told shit i already know.

So come and meet me again-
In a new light In a new guise In a new, and aching form
Stagnation is anathema, thus-
I have no heart to care, For the many tears you claim to weep Over an empty seat Filled to the edges with dust That was never shaped to fit what I became-
Show me a permanent state of self And I will show you what it is To die, alone, Caught between the cracks, upon the verge of Becoming
Tell me how you love me, Show me the works of your hands All that was done by name and word and deed-
And in return, thus,
"Truly I say to you, you never knew me."
-They called it love

So the other day, I was writing a short story about ex catholicism. So I sat in a church and immersed myself in the complicated vibes of it. I need to give everyone here the visual of me wearing a hillel sweatshirt with the hebrew alphabet and a magen david hunched over my computer in a corner as people keep on coming in to pray or look at the scenery.
They'd have this proud look on their face, like "awww, nice to see that college kids are still into religion!". ( I am but not in the way they think.)
Then came the confusion when they scanned me up and down, doing visible calculus in a process that looked like this passing through their faces -
Tumblr media
I then quickly waved them off. "No, no! Don't worry! This is for a world religions class!" Instead of my actual explanation that I'm writing a Batman fanfiction and I must re-explore the vibes of Catholicism to be as accurate as possible in my snarkiness.

I’m sure a lot of people know this but I’ve never seen it talked about so . I feel like it’s absolutely insane that Bonechill is just straight up the Biblical Satan. Like canonically. He’s a fallen Nimbi like Lucifer was a fallen angel. Then he’s thrown into an afterlife specifically created to imprison him. Like Satan and the lake of fire and stuff. Even the Skellobits can be interpreted as “Satan’s followers.” That plus the whole Grambi resembling the Christian god is genuinely so interesting because HOWWW did nintendo get away with it. I seriously mean that. Considering how HUGE the religion is like I’m surprised they didn’t get scared of possible backlash. And man I didn’t even mention yet how Luvbi = Jesus (child of god…… sacrifice to save the world….. they resurrected).

Despite being a man of science, logic, and reason above all else, Asuka R Kruetz's outfit seems to fuse motifs of both western and eastern clergy uniforms
This is to signify That Man's actions are primarily fueled by Catholic Guilt
